Categories     dessert

Time 2h40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 large eggs, at room temperature
2 egg large yolks, at room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
12 ounces unsalted butter (3 sticks), room temperature
2 1/2 cups sugar
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
6 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick)
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour the bundt pan.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa, and salt into a medium bowl. Whisk the eggs, yolks, vanilla, and espresso powder together in a bowl and set aside.
  • In a heavy-duty mixer, beat the butter with the paddle attachment, on medium speed for 1 minute, or until smooth. Gradually pour in the sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, until the butter begins to lighten, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and beat, on medium-high, until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes more.
  • Adjust the mixer's speed to its lowest setting. Add 1/2 of the flour mixture and mix until completely absorbed before adding the rest. Scrape down the sides of the mixer then beat on medium-high for 30 seconds more.
  • Adjust again to low speed and add half the egg mixture, mix until blended and smooth. Add the remaining egg mixture and beat until almost blended. Remove the bowl from the mixer, and fold in the chocolate by hand. Take care not to over mix the batter.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
  • Cool the cake in the pan, on a rack for 10 minutes. Turn the cake out of the pan, and cool right side up on a rack. If not serving the same day, wrap in plastic wrap and store at room temperature. Glaze just before serving. Cake can be frozen for 1 month.
  • For the glaze: Put all the ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl or glass measuring cup. Melt at 50 percent power in the microwave until soft, about 1 minute. Stir, and continue heat until completely melted, about 1 minute more. Remove from the microwave and whisk until fully combined, smooth and glossy. While warm, pour glaze over cooled cake and do not spread. Serve as desired.

MOIST CHOCOLATE POUND CAKE



Moist Chocolate Pound Cake image

This rich, supremely chocolatey, moist pound cake is so simple and yet so impressive, especially when frosted with my Salted Caramel Frosting, which perfectly complements the dense sweetness of the cake. If you have any leftovers, don't refrigerate, just leave tightly covered at room temperature.

Time 1h34m

Yield 1 cake, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
3 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
5 large eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee
1/4 cup hot water
1 cup buttermilk (see note for substitute)
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Cream butter, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl for five minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Dissolve coffee granules in hot water, combine with buttermilk, set aside.
  • Combine flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder; add alternately with buttermilk to creamed mixture, beating just until blended. Pour batter into a greased and floured Bundt or tube pan.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the cake tests done. Remove from oven and cool 20 minutes, then remove from pan.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your cake will taste. Look for fresh, high-quality butter, eggs, and chocolate.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making your cake light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder together: This will help to ensure that the cake is light and fluffy.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.

Conclusion:

Chocolate pound cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious chocolate pound cake that will impress your friends and family.
